Talk:Solute carrier family

Transport proteins?

I have put this in Category:Transport proteins, but I'm not actually certain that they are transport proteins. Can someone confirm or confute? Thanks, delldot | talk 06:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• The reference that I have added to this article (The ABCs of solute carriers: physiological, pathological and therapeutic implications of human membrane transport proteins) confirms that SLCs are transport proteins. Boghog2 21:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup?

I have removed the cleanup flag, since it is not clear to me what if anything needs cleaning up. Granted, the list of families and members within each family is very long, but that was the point of this article. Please be more specific. Boghog2 02:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Article name: Family? Families?

Since the article lists the families of solute carriers, should we not move the title from "Solute carrier family" to "Solute carrier families"? Peter Chastain (talk) 04:35, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

The solute carrier superfamily (singular) is composed of 51 families. Perhaps it would be better to rename the title to "Solute carrier superfamily". Boghog (talk) 05:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Now,2013, SLCs are composed of 52 families. SLC Tables. check http://slc.bioparadigms.org — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hooman hamdi (talk • contribs) 00:02, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

IMHO, There is now enough detail in this article to promote from stub to start class.Boghog2 08:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
